Anomalies of the Constitution and Tuberculosis Infection in Children

Phenotypical implications of genetic features are anomalies of the constitution or diathesis. A research objective children had an identification with a tuberculosis infection of occurrence of diathesis. 222 children aged from 1 year up to 14 years are examined: 106 children with active forms of tuberculosis; 54 children with residual post-tubercular changes; 62 children infected with MBT. Limfatiko-hypoplastic, allergic, neuroarthritic, exudative and catarral diathesis was taped. Children with limfatiko-hypoplastic (17.0 ± 3.7%) and neuroarthritic diathesis most often occur among patients with active tuberculosis (17.0 ± 3.7%), children with allergic diathesis are more rare (10.4 ± 3.0% of cases. The least favorable current of active forms of tuberculosis became perceptible at children with limfatiko-hypoplastic diathesis: the complicated forms of tuberculosis became perceptible at them in 27.8 ± 10.6% of cases. At patients with neuroarthritic diathesis the complicated forms developed less often - in 11.1 ± 7.4% of cases. Children with allergic diathesis transferred only uncomplicated forms of primary period of tuberculosis. At children without anomalies of the constitution the complicated current was observed often - in 27.6 ± 5.9% of cases. Frequency of occurrence of children with allergic diathesis is higher at patients with residual post-tubercular changes (29.6 ± 6.2%) and the infected MBT (33.8 ± 6.1%), than at patients with active tuberculosis (10.4 ± 3.0%). Existence of a certain anomaly of the constitution in many respects predetermines the course of a tuberculosis infection.
